Mirroring Siena Poll, Gibson Survey
Shows Him Leading Eldridge, 56-30%
A poll by Public Opinion Strategies on behalf of the Gibson for Congress campaign showed U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson, R-19th, leads his Democratic challenger, Sean Eldridge, 56 percent to 30 percent, the incumbent’s campaign announced today.
It was district-wide survey of 400 likely voters, reached via landline and cell phone Oct. 14-15 with a margin of error of +/- 4.9 percent in 95 out of 100 cases.
The announcement said the new findings are similar to those of a Siena College in September, which showed Gibson leading by 57 percent to 33 percent.
“Gibson is personally popular,” the statement continued. “19th District voters have a very strong personal opinion of Congressman Gibson, 62 percent favorable-19 percent unfavorable.” The 19th District includes Otsego County.
